Goodreads asked Ruth Finnegan:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Ruth Finnegan From dreams, yes, honest, totally while I was on a holiday i New Zealand , t(ook only 32 days the time I was away, including in the air), still don't quite believe it, it seemed just to be sort-of dictated to me, all I had to do was type it into my i;ad (all I had with me, but it seemed to work okay). Not yet out but (secret - ssh) it'll be called 'Helix Pearl 'and is the 'same' (basically) as the story of my 'Black inked pearl' novel but this time (yes , extraordinary, but that's how it came ) as told - a new take on it - by the garuulous wine-dark sea (her name for herself, don't blame me - actually I like it, a touch of Homer)
